    Thank you all

    I'm flying out to start my second Camino (from SJPP) tomorrow, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this Forum for their wealth of great advice. The difference you've all made in my planning since my first Camino in 1998 is immense. I'm so glad an informative, generous...

    Codex Calixtinus

    Hello all, VERY geeky question, maybe, but: does anyone have, or know if there exists online, an electronic copy (in English) of the Codex Calixtinus, the medieval text/"guidebook" about the Camino? More for fun than anything, I'd love to take a look at it (esp. Book V, the so-called "tour...

    Refuge Orisson Web site broken?

    Hey all, Has anyone tried to make a reservation through the Orisson Web site and been unable to? Every time I try I get a message telling me my email can't be sent, and to try again later. This has been happening for days now. Getting a bit concerned, as I know they fill up quickly and need to...

    Waking up in refugios

    Hello all, May be a silly question, but: in the (municipal, not private) albergues/refugios, how do you know when to wake up? I'm already anticipating the "the snorers will keep you up all night, you'll already be awake" and "the folks who start out at 5:30 AM with their torches and plastic bags...

    Cancelled Ryanair Flight

    Are you allowed to take a walking stick or cane as carry-on luggage on RyanAir? Anyone have any experience? I see the regulation about "no blunt objects," but they don't specifically list canes as prohibited. If not, anyone have any experience checking a walking stick as checked luggage?

    Stanstead Airport/Flight Connection ?

    Thanks so much for the information. Unfortunately, I don't qualify for the online check-in because I'm an American citizen. I think I'm going to try to get an earlier flight into London, if possible, to make the RyanAir connection.

    Stanstead Airport/Flight Connection ?

    Hi all, Question about the start of my camino in April. I'm flying into Stanstead Airport (London) on Air Berlin, then connecting to RyanAir going to Biarritz (eventually on to SJPP). When I booked these tickets originally, there were at least 2 hours between these connections. BUT since that...

    2008 Brierley Guide

    I've been visiting Brierley's site for the past month or so (which links you to the bookseller), and the St. PP-to-Santiago guide is completely sold out. Anyone have any idea when it's going to be replenished? I'm not walking for a few months yet but there's no indication as to when the Guide's...
